InMemoryOfYou:EmotionStealer

     I closed my eyes to remember who you were. Mental images flashed and faded away. You were beautiful, strange, mine. Your hair was long and your eyes were a gorgeous forest green. You were my pretty boy.
     It's too bad you had to leave.
     It's a shame that at your funeral I couldn't cry because you took that ability away from me.
     It's upsetting that you could have been so much more, you left everyone that day to wonder...who could possibly have done this to you? But I knew you better than that, no one had murdered you. You died on your own, and took my emotions with you.
     "Promise we'll be together?"
     "I promise."
     "Promise you'll keep me safe?"
     "I promise."
     "Promise to keep my heart?"
     "I promise." You smiled so sweetly, and I believed you. You broke one promise when you were left lifeless, and I still don't want to forgive you.
     It's frustrating that at your viewing I screamed and made a scene.
     It's comforting to know I still had one emotion even if it wasn't a happy one. I thought you would come back. You promised, you said we would be together.
     It's terrifying to KNOW that you're never going to hold me again. Why would you want to escape this world when you still had me? Why would you leave me broken and angered, blistered and defeated? Why did you make me feel like living wasn't worth it? I'm still curious to know where you've gone.
     I open my eyes to see the pistol still in my hands. The one you killed yourself with.
     "I want to go too."  I whimpered, almost forgetting that once I go I CAN'T come back. Fuck it. So, now I'm NOT coming back. And as I pull the trigger I hear you whisper
     "You won't EVER go back."
